— LinkedIn Data and Case Studies Reveal Emerging Trends in Organizational Transformation and ESG Implementation
Hangzhou, November 23, 2025 — Amid shifting economic cycles, the restructuring of digitalized industrial chains, and the rapid evolution of AI technologies, the global business landscape is experiencing a stark contrast: massive layoffs on one side and record-breaking valuations for tech giants on the other; declining demand for entry-level roles versus unprecedented growth in AI-related talent and skills.
At the same time, Chinese companies are entering the “deep waters” of GoGlobal—moving beyond exporting products and technologies to building localized global supply chains. They are not only adapting to new competitive rules but also actively shaping the emerging global business and technology ecosystem.
Chinese business leaders’ perspectives on talent and brand are undergoing a fundamental shift: from competing on speed and technology to prioritizing brand trust and organizational sustainability in overseas markets. Leveraging global platforms like LinkedIn, these companies are accelerating international talent acquisition, improving job-skill matching amid fast-changing skill demands, and building authentic employer brands through compelling storytelling. At the same time, they are deploying data-driven talent development systems to empower top talent for long-term success.

“AI is not just an automation tool—it’s an accelerator for human potential. The true measure of competitiveness lies in how well employees collaborate with AI. Future-ready organizations will win not only through hard-core technology and resilient supply chains but also through trust,” said Wang Qian, Country Manager of LinkedIn China, at the conference. She emphasized that companies must put talent strategy and trust at the forefront and connect with markets through authentic, credible content—only then can technology dividends translate into sustainable growth resilience.
Talent Trust, Technology Trust, and Green Trust: The Triple Drivers of New Growth
Building trust starts with talent. In a year marked by fierce competition for AI talent and skyrocketing salaries, how can companies ensure long-term collaboration with top talent?
GenScript, a global leader in life sciences services and products, is transforming its strong R&D capabilities into talent power and trust. As industry shifts from technology-driven to globally competitive, GenScript recognizes the need for professionals who not only understand science but can also translate research into commercial success. Its Gen X Future Leader Program adopts a dual-track approach—Science × Business—through cross-functional projects, global rotations, and mentorship, cultivating system thinking and cross-cultural leadership to accelerate the journey “from lab to market.”
Meanwhile, the green economy is not only a global priority but also a new engine for growth. Leading companies worldwide view green skills as critical to resilience, innovation, and efficiency. LinkedIn’s 2025 Global Green Skills Report reveals that green job hiring is growing twice as fast as green skill supply, and candidates with green skills are 46.6% more likely to be hired than the general workforce. Demand for hybrid AI + green skills is surging, with roles requiring both increasing by 38.6% year-over-year to 55%. Over half of green jobs now originate from traditionally non-green roles, making green capabilities a mainstream requirement.
In renewable energy and green manufacturing, LONGi Green Energy integrates low-carbon production, circular economy, social responsibility, industry empowerment, and robust governance into a systemic green trust framework. Its “Solar for Solar” philosophy drives initiatives like the Green Supply Chain Partner Empowerment Program, reducing emissions across the value chain. LONGi’s Jiaxing plant became the first “Lighthouse + Zero-Carbon” factory in the PV industry, setting a replicable benchmark for green manufacturing through advanced technology integration. These measurable, verifiable improvements in governance and production underpin global ESG leadership, strengthening recruitment, partnerships, and brand narratives worldwide.
From R&D labs to global markets, from manufacturing lines to creator communities, Chinese enterprises are turning the principle of “Technology as Water, Trust as Gold” into actionable strategies:
- Green trust for sustainable supply chains
- Talent trust for organizational resilience
- Technology trust for brands with authenticity and warmth
LinkedIn will continue partnering with Chinese companies to put talent strategy and trust at the core, transform AI into human-machine collaborative productivity, and convert authentic, verifiable professional content into global brand assets and business opportunities—providing sustainable growth momentum amid cycles of surplus and globalization.
